Hi everyone, new here.
Timeline for my husband:
Application received (PR+OWP): Oct 26, 2018
AOR Received: Nov 14, 2018
MR Request: Jan 3, 2019
MR Done: Jan 15, 2019
MR Passed:
BGC:
OWP:

I am seeing that some people have to submit fingerprints and some do not for the BGC. We submitted a PCC with our application. We are going away for a wedding, does anyone think we should get the fingerprints done now just in case we get the BGC request for fingerprints while we are gone? We'll be gone for the month of February 2019.
see some people from south Americans got fingerprinters requested like people from brazil... but i didnt get fingerprints request tho

On the IRCC website, it seems to say they have started processing work permit applications received on October 11... Am I understanding this properly?

I know a lot of the September 2018 inland applicants are still waiting for their OWP.

Should we start getting excited?

Interesting! I don't put much stock in what the IRCC website says, but that would be awesome if it were true. We're October 11 applicants, and I think my partner is starting to get a bit nuts at home. At least a work permit would bring him the stress of finding a job, rather than the boredom of sitting at home :)

Thanks!

Hi everyone!

I have some exciting updates of my application status to share.

I just found on MyCIC account that my OWP application status being changed to "we are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements" and meanwhile my PR application status changed to "processing background check". Currently I haven't got OWP approved yet though. According to other people''s experience, generally it happens the same day or the next day?

I am a Oct 5th applicator, below is my timeline:

App received: October 5(but for my OWP application, it show as September 28, which is weird because my paper files was delivered to CPC Mississauga on October 5.
AOR received: October 25
MR received: December 14
Medical Exam finished: December 21
Medical Exam passed: December 21
Background check started: January 16


Waiting for OWP...
